The Untold Story of Milk - Green Pastures, Contented Cows and Raw Dairy Foods $19.95

“This is a fascinating and compelling book. The role of milk in the rise of civilization and in early America, the distillery dairies, compulsory pasteurization and the politics of milk, traditional dairying cultures – the chapters on these subjects will change forever the way you think about milk. “‘Betrayal’ and ‘Cholesterol, Animal Fats and Heart Disease - A Modern Myth?’ – these chapters will shock you. And in the final chapters, we learn of how scores of eminent scientists documented the superiority of raw milk and its myriad health benefits, only to be denigrated by propagandists for the processed food industry and their government allies. But raw milk is a movement whose time has come. This book will serve as a catalyst for that movement – a movement that could change the life of every individual who comes to fully understand the value of raw milk from healthy, grassfed animals.”
